Read moreCould not have asked for better weather this morning. Sky was clear, stars were out, and temps were in the lower 50s. Literally my favorite running weather. There was mumble chatter leading up to the run about how terrible the routes were (cough...
Read moreJaws, one of my favorite movies, is back in theaters and I got to take my 11-year old daughter last night. This made looking for a TRQ theme easy! The Thang: Bam, Wobegon, and I met early in the gloom for the famed TRQ Run Club. We saw Green...
